Abstract

Methods and arrangements for generating adjustment commands in a node. The adjustment commands adjust the transmission power of radio signals. The radio signals are sent over at least a first channel and a second channel. The adjustment is performed by adjusting a gain factor. The gain factor is associated with the relation between a first transmission power level of a first channel and a second transmission power level of a second channel.

Description

Be used for adjusting by adjusting gain factor the method and apparatus of transmitted power in the communication system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method and apparatus in the communication system, relate to particularly for the method and apparatus that generates the adjustment order of the transmitted power of adjusting radio signal by adjusting gain factor.
Background technology
In the communication system based on for example code division multiple access (CDMA), control to satisfy required quality of service goals with exterior ring power.Can implement this exterior ring power in subscriber equipment controls to satisfy the downlink quality target and can implement to satisfy the uplink quality target in the base station.In cordless communication network, down link is the transmit path from the base station to the subscriber equipment, and up link is the transmit path from the subscriber equipment to the base station.Importantly, no matter the radio condition (this is common situations in wireless communication system) that changes, exterior ring power control can be kept required service quality.
The different technologies viewpoint relevant with inner-loop power control, exterior ring power control and the fusion in cdma system thereof is described below.Particularly, method and apparatus described herein relates to Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA), but because power control (interior ring and outer shroud) is the characteristics of CDMA access technology, therefore method and apparatus described herein also can be applied to other technical based on CDMA equivalently, such as cdma2000.Can also in mark (fraction) high speed downlink packet access access (F-HSDPA), implement the method.
In cdma system, inner-loop power control (being also referred to as fast power control) moves in each time slot, and each time slot is typically less than 1ms (for example being 0.67ms in WCDMA).In WCDMA, inner-loop power control moves in up link and down link simultaneously.Quick inner-loop power control is located specific signal with the transmitted power of transmit leg to the recipient interference and noise ratio (SIR) target is adjusted.The purpose of up link and downlink inner loop power control is to offset the fast-fading effect, keeps simultaneously required sir target.In up link, this inner-loop power control is also guaranteed closely-far compensation of (near-far) problem, so that the signal that the user of distant place receives from the residential quarter is not flooded by stronger signal.In each time slot, subscriber equipment is estimated the SIR of certain known reference or frequency pilot sign, and with its with and corresponding certain sir target of given service (for example, specific bit error rate (BER) spreading factor of requiring, using etc.) compare.In WCDMA, measure down link SIR at Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH), this Dedicated Physical Control Channel comprises for the pilot tone of up-link power control and transmitter power control (TPC) order.If the SIR that estimates is less than sir target, then subscriber equipment generates the UP order, otherwise it generates the DOWN order; As response, the base station will increase (in the situation of UP) or reduce (in the situation of DOWN) its down link transmitted power.
The purpose of exterior ring power control is to adjust the as explained before sir target value of inner-loop power control use, keeps simultaneously specific link-quality.This quality objective is final quality objective tolerance, and this tolerance is set by network, and the subscriber equipment expectation keeps this target all the time, thereby guarantees to satisfy required service quality in whole call session process.Because the radio link conditions that changes (such as user mobility, quick decline etc.), the mapping between sir target and the BER changed along with the time.Because need to be to the constant adjustment of sir target keeping required BER value, so this be key point.This mechanism of adjusting sir target also is known as exterior ring power control, quality control or outer shroud scheme.
In the system such as the WCDMA of enhanced uplink (EUL) version, the configuration exterior ring power is controlled the quality objective of attempting number based on sending to satisfy, that is: " after x target transmission, residual error should be y% ".
Up link DPCCH sir target is adjusted in the uplink outer loop power control that is used for enhanced uplink channel, so satisfy the residual error rate after the maximum of regulation sends number.
If after the maximum of regulation sends number, successfully this transmission is not decoded, then increases for example 0.5dB of sir target.The transmission of decoding for each time success reduces the factor that is inversely proportional to error probability with corresponding sir target, if for example error rate is 2%, then approximately reduces 0.01dB.
Send by aerial (over the air) data of using a plurality of different physical channels (for example Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH), Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH), enhancing Dedicated Physical Control Channel (E-DPCCH) and enhancing Dedicated Physical Data Channel (E-DPDCH)) to carry out in wireless communication system.The power consumption of these channels is relative to each other by power offset (namely with respect to DPCCH power stage other β value or gain factor).
Yet the gain factor that uses in real data sends may be inaccurate, and this will affect whole systematic function.May cause inaccurate gain factor by the reference gain factors of simulating acquisition or the method for calculating other gain factor.For example, take when gain factor is lower than institute, require more the transmission to attempt to guarantee successful transmission.Because the control of current EUL exterior ring power is based on to send and attempts, this come down to increase sir target and with more power division to DPCCH.Yet this does not wish.
When the number of send attempting during greater than the TA target, increase the DPCCH sir target according to the current exterior ring power control of EUL WCDMA.This means that all have the transmitted power that also will increase them with respect to other channel (such as E-DPDCH) of the power offset of DPCCH.
Yet in a lot of situations, the reason that does not satisfy the TA target is owing to the mistake low-power on data channel (E-DPDCH), rather than because the mistake low-power on control channel DPCCH.
Send more off and on simultaneously E-DPDCH owing to send continuously DPCCH, the sir target and the power that increase on the DPCCH will cause unnecessary high interference.
In addition, in the situation that high power uses on the coverage of bad luck and subscriber equipment, DPCCH will " steal " power from data channel E-DPDCH.
In addition, the firm power side-play amount for different transmission block sizes also has problems.Network is difficult to arrange power offset and strengthens data channel transmission format combination (E-TFC) accurately to mate the TA target.For example, if power offset is crossed low and can not be satisfied the TA target, will increase DPCCH SIR until satisfy the TA target.Since be difficult to know in advance what power offset can with required TA object matching, so this will probably cause the undesired adjustment to the DPCCH sir target, thereby and cause undesired interference to increase or too low DPCCHSIR target.

Fig. 3 shows the flow chart that is used for generating the method for adjusting order in sending node 110.Generate and adjust order to be used for adjusting the transmitted power of the radio signal that is sent to receiving node 120.On at least the first channel 230 and second channel 240, send radio signal to receiving node 120.The first channel 230 can be data channel, such as E-DPDCH.Second channel 240 can be control channel, such as DPCCH.In addition, carry out this adjustment by adjusting gain factor 200.Relation between the first transmit power level of gain factor 200 and the first channel 230 and the second transmit power level of second channel 240 is associated.This signal can comprise the data that send with the particular transport block size.The transmission block size can change according to different pieces of information.Similarly, according to some embodiment, the transmission block size can affect gain factor 200, so that different gain factors 200 can be used for different transformats.According to some embodiment, can only adjust gain factor 200 for the transmission block of the transmission block size of using before having.
In order to generate rightly the adjustment order that is used for sending node 110, this method can comprise a plurality of step 301-304.Yet, should be noted in the discussion above that some described method steps are optionally and only included by some embodiment.In addition, it should be noted that, can come manner of execution step 301-304 with order before and after the random time, and can carry out simultaneously or with change or even the antipodal time before and after order carry out among them some (for example step 301 and steps 303) or even institute in steps.The method comprises the following steps:
Step 301
The first mass value that sending node 110 acquisitions are associated with the first channel 230.According to some embodiment, carry out this step by receiving from one or more affirmations (ACK) or the non-affirmation (NACK) of receiving node 120 transmissions, correctly or mistakenly received this signal before this affirmation or non-affirmation are indicated respectively.These one or more affirmations (ACK) or non-affirmation (NACK) may relate to a plurality of signals of representative data or data block.
Can be from receiving node 120 confirmations of receipt (ACK) and/or non-affirmation (NACK).
Step 302
Step 302 is optional.According to some embodiment, the affirmation (ACK) that sending node 110 calculating receive during specific predetermined amount of time and/or the number of non-affirmation (NACK).This time period can be random length, for example part second or several seconds.Thereby, according to some embodiment, can carry out survey, the number of the affirmation during the special time period (ACK) and/or non-affirmation (NACK) is counted and sued for peace.
Step 303
Sending node 110 determine the first mass values of obtaining and with the first quality target value that the first channel 230 is associated between poor.According to some embodiment, this step comprises poor between the number of the affirmation (ACK) that determine to receive and the threshold value.This threshold value can have arbitrary size, such as being an affirmation.
According to some embodiment, this step comprises poor between the number of the non-affirmation (NACK) that determine to receive and the threshold value.This threshold value can have arbitrary size, such as being a non-affirmation.
Yet, according to some embodiment, can in optional step 302, carry out survey.For these embodiment, can represent this threshold value with speed, for example receive three non-affirmations (NACK) second.
Step 304
Sending node 110 is adjusted gain factor 200 based on the difference of determining between the mass value that obtains and the quality target value.
According to some embodiment, if sending node 110 receives the confirmation (ACK) from receiving node 120 then can reduce gain factor 200, this affirmation indication has correctly received the signal that sends before that is sent to receiving node 120 from sending node 110.
According to some embodiment, if sending node 110 receives non-affirmation (NACK) from receiving node 120 then can increase gain factor 200, this non-affirmation indication has received the signal that sends before that is sent to receiving node 120 from sending node 110 mistakenly.
According to some embodiment, gain factor 200 is based on the calculating number of affirmation (ACK) that specific predetermined time period receives and/or non-affirmation (NACK) and the difference of determining between the threshold limit value.According to these embodiment, can this limit be set to for example receive in one second three non-affirmations (NACK).If overstep the extreme limit, then can increase gain factor 200.Thereby according to some embodiment, sending node 110 can compile the statistics of ACK and NACK, then based on N Nack/ (N Ack+ N Nack) adjust gain factor 200, wherein N AckThe number of the ACK that in specific Measuring Time section, sends, simultaneously N NackIt is the number of the NACK that in this Measuring Time section, sends.
According to some embodiment, can reduce gain factor 200 (Δ β) with the less step-length of step-length of using when increasing gain factor 200.
Thereby as non-limitative example, can step-length be set to according to some embodiment:
When increasing gain factor 200, Δ β=1, and
When reducing gain factor 200, Δβ = 1 ( 1 - BLERt arg et ) .
By some embodiment, by the adjustment to gain factor 200 (it is not directly related with second channel 240 or control channel (such as DPCCH)), itself guarantee the quality of the first channel 230 (perhaps data channel) by the first channel 230, utilized the transmitted power of sending node 110 in more efficient mode.This will be avoided following situation: the data of the bad luck that causes owing to bad the first channel 230 quality send and will cause sir target to increase, because second channel 240 can take more power, this can and then cause the worse propagation conditions of the first channel 230.
Fig. 4 shows the flow chart that is used for generating the method for adjusting order in receiving node 120.Generate this adjustment order to be used for adjusting the transmitted power of radio signal.On at least the first channel 230 and second channel 240, receive radio signals from sending node 110.Carry out this adjustment by adjusting gain factor 200.Relation between the first transmit power level of gain factor 200 and the first channel 230 and the second transmit power level of second channel 240 is associated.The first channel 230 and second channel 240 are used for from sending node 110 to receiving node 120 transmitted signals.
This signal can comprise the data that send with the particular transport block size.This transmission block size can change for different data.In addition, according to some embodiment, this transmission block size can affect gain factor 200.
In order to generate rightly the adjustment order that is used for sending node 110, the method can comprise a plurality of step 401-408.Yet, should be noted in the discussion above that some described method steps are optionally and only included by some embodiment.In addition, it should be noted that, can come manner of execution step 401-408 with order before and after the random time, and can carry out simultaneously or with change or even the antipodal time before and after order carry out among them some (for example step 401 and steps 406) or even institute in steps.The method comprises the following steps:
Step 401
The first mass value that receiving node 120 acquisitions are associated with the first channel 230.The first mass value can be based on any error rate numerical procedure, such as frame error ratio (FER), block error rate (BLER), bit error rate (BER), perhaps based on any tolerance that other is fit to, such as outage probability (outage probability).Thereby the quality objective of using according to some embodiment can be based on bit, piece or frame error ratio, for example wherein uses cyclic redundancy check (CRC) (CRC) to measure bit, piece or frame error ratio.Yet in certain embodiments, quality objective can also be ordered mistake based on TPC, and can measure corresponding downlink quality in the TPC order that receives.
In certain embodiments, can be by carrying out the estimation of the mass value of the first channel 230 is carried out the step of the mass value that obtains the first channel 230.According to some embodiment, can also carry out this step by the mass value that receives the first channel 230 from another node.
According to some embodiment, receiving node 120 can use N Err/ (N Corr+ N Err) measure block error rate, wherein N CorrThe number at particular measurement correct transmission block that receives in the time period, and N ErrIt is the number of the wrong transmission block that receives in this Measuring Time section.
Step 402
Receiving node 120 determine the first mass values of obtaining and with the first quality target value that the first channel 230 is associated between poor.
Can determine that this is poor by the first mass value of the relatively acquisition of the first channel 230 and the quality target value of the first channel 230.According to some embodiment, service has different value to the quality target value of this first channel 230 for difference.The value of this quality target value can depend on the type of service, and as mentioned above, the type further affects the sir target that is used for inner-loop power control.As non-limitative example, the 1%BLER target can be used for voice, and the 10%BLER target can be used for grouped data, and 0.1%BLER can be used for visual telephone etc.
Step 403
In optional step 403, according to some embodiment, the number that the transmission to receiving node 120 transmitted signals that receiving node 120 definite sending nodes 110 have carried out is attempted.According to some embodiment, can be by count to carry out the optional step of the number of the transmission trial that obtains secondary signal on the first channel 230 to sending the number of attempting.According to some embodiment, another node that can also comprise from cordless communication network 100 receives and sends the number of attempting.
